Do I have to hand in my membership card if I say "zero"...? :(

Not at all. I'm the same way.

I rarely get around to watching Dragon Ball. I get around to watching it probably...once every three or four months. When that time comes, it's usually because I purchased a new Dragon Box or I just feel like watching a part of the series, which ends up usually being a movie or special. I guess I just don't want to get burned out from my Dragon Ball fandom because of watching it constantly in such a small period of time. That's one thing that keeps my interest in the series. That's just me, though.

To answer the title of the topic, I'm zero as well unless I get a new Dragon Box or watch a part of the series. Even then, it depends on how often I watch it over the course of a week.

Speaking of the topic title, shouldn't one of the "a week"s be omitted? It's a bit redundant to have "a week" twice in the title. Sorry. Minor nitpick.

I think the last "a week" should be omitted, so it'll look like this:

I'm currently watching Dragonball in Japanese again so from zero to two episodes a day. After that I'll probably rewatch Dragon Ball Z and then GT at the same rate and will move on to Kai.

I didn't specifically say about myself but it's similar to a few people.
Watch Kai on TV every now and then, then go through a DBox/Kai Blu-ray when it comes out.

I watch it every once in a while... last time being before Christmas. When I do watch it I tend to watch 3-5 episodes at a time.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

I'll revisit the series every 4-5 years.
Oh yes, for this topic "ZERO" :twisted:

Lately, I've been trying to manage an average of one episode per day? That's only because I've been introducing my dad to the show (in Japanese, subtitled) though. I started him with the Pilaf arc, he was introduced to Lunch earlier today.

I was watching new episodes of the Kai dub as they premiered on Nicktoons before. I'll have to get around to my Kai DVDs and Dragon Box at some point, but I don't want to burn myself out as it was a little tiring when I was trying to watch Dragon Box 1 around the same time Kai debuted on Nicktoons.

Occasionally, I will revisit the series when I have the time, and if I'm really feeling up to it I can probably manage something like 7 episodes a day. But at other times, I've gone months without watching a single episode of Dragon Ball at all.

At the moment, none right now since I'm still waiting for the next Dragon Box Z release. So it's pretty much been 40+ episodes every few months. But there'd be times where I occasionally watch single random episodes from the earlier boxes.

I haven't watched the series since it aired on tv in the Netherlands.
Don't own any episodes or anything so...

Still got the manga though.

I used to catch every single Kai premiere on NickToons, but I don't even know what the schedule for it is now. The last episode I remember, Mr. Popo managed to gather all of the Dragon Balls on Earth. Have I missed anything since then?

I'm also trekking through GT at the moment, I blast through a disc every couple of days.

No, you haven't missed any episodes since then. Dragon Ball Kai is beginning again on February 9th airing Wednesday and Thursday's. I think also a new episode (Episode 51) of Kai is set to air this Saturday on February 6th.

I don't tend to watch Dragonball a certain amount of times per week or anything. I'll just get on kicks where I watch it all the time. For example, I have it playing in the corner of my screen while I'm doing other things simultaneously.

I don't generally watch Dragon Ball anime all that much unless I buy a new Kai DVD or Dragon Box. Since there are no new releases of the two as of now, I don't watch it all that much, except for a few episodes here and there randomly. I am about halfway through GT, but, I'm kind of reluctant to finish that.
So mondo lame.

That was a brilliant post! :lol:

Now that DBZ is back on the tele here in Denmark, I watch that whenever I have the time.

I see one episode of Z everyday which makes for seven a week. What's also neat is having a DVD player with the multi-disc resume feature. So I make sure to pause the frame of the next episode to be viewed the next day. That eliminates the hassle of having to skip those freakin' opening promos, as well as Z's intro.
